Polymer chain dynamics of a nanostructured block copolymer electrolyte are investigated by neutron spin-echo spectroscopy. Monomeric friction, determined by fitting the short-time data to the Rouse model, increases with increasing salt concentration. Tube

SATE VI Ockham Sound Analysis Criteria

May 19, 2020
Author(s)
Paul E. Black, Kanwardeep S. Walia
Static analyzers examine the source or executable code of programs to find problems. Many static analyzers use heuristics or approximations to examine programs with millions of lines of code for hundreds of classes of problems. The Ockham Sound Analysis
